Quantum Field Theory
Summary
The 1970s saw a realization that quantum field theory was applicable to physics, including quantum carbon dynamics theory, resulting in breakthroughs and a flurry of progress. Dick Feynman, Murray Gell-Mann, Steve Weinberg, and Gerhard Höft were some of the notable physicists in this field at the time.
